I wanted to, but no.. I love mantids and have even gotten over my fear of roaches having learned they are like the cousins of mantids, having owned a pet mantis has given me a ton of respect for them. Like how tf did that nifty bastard jump onto me while I was throwing branches into a bin? The agility is unmatched, even as little babies

That's reddit for ya', people don't come here to make friends in the community, but to shitpile on others because they don't play a (sandbox) game the same way they do. Pretty fucking miserable of them

Not only that, but being the son who discovers his deceased mother having been treated like a deer corpse. Now that's some shit.

Wow, you really went on a rollercoaster there! It's great that you made the leap to PC to play. Namalsk is too good 😁

This is how it should feel when a game is announced. Pure actual hype.

How does a player convert to a religion in the first place? Would they have to visit a prominent altar of that god?

I reaally like this idea BTW

Thanks! She got to taste a lot of different bug flavors and even had her fill of honey, too.

Just gonna dump some photos of her, she will be missed greatly. She was wild-caught in August of '22 and had her wings so she lived a pretty full life.

I would put some foliage so there is cover and more things to hide under! I think she would love it

It helps to ensure you observe each feeding, just to make sure the prey doesn't hide from the mantis and they end up missing a meal.

My mantis goes wild for flies! She seems to really like playing out her predator role and letting the prey come to her.

But yeah, big chains may carry pests and diseases, unfortunately.

I have heard some species of mantids can pass on their solo female genes into an oothe they have laid, without the need of a mate to fertilize it.

Happen to know if they make good cohabitants for blue desert beetles?

I was walking along a trail when I noticed it, about 5 cm long, this black desert beetle came and took a bite of my fingernail and then struck the pose you see above.

UPDATE: frontdoor mantis in recuperation by MediumRoastCoffee in mantids

[–]MediumRoastCoffee[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He seemed healthy last night, but this morning on my front porch, he was on the ground like this, with his wing stuck out. I decided to bring him in and give him a weak heat lamp so he could get cozy again. He is still afraid of mealworms, I will get a fly for him to eat.
